Danny Trejo, a figure in the seventh art, without hesitation, is also a leading advisor to overcoming drug addiction and a par excellence activist. Cinema, yes, makes people better. But it is not often that within their inner veils, full of banalities and miseries, many manage to get out angry, projecting modest and prestos, against wind and tide, to improve the human condition.

If there was consensus among the heterogeneous group of filmmakers that made up the International Catholic Film Office (OCIC, now part of Signis) in the mid-1990s, it was to call Walfredo Piñera a teacher. He came from walking long and tortuous paths, always loyal to his compass: he had long been the dean of film criticism in Cuba, with unalterable Christian faith. Be this text, a well-deserved tribute to him and his work, ninety years after his birth. […]
The film The Old Guard (2020) seems, in its early days, a policeman and suddenly reveals itself as what it really is: a superhero adventure. Although sailing off its territory, director Gina Prince-Bythewood (Love and Basketball, The Secret Life of Bees, Behind the Lights…), comes out of this start which, it seems, will have continuity.

On these and other notes goes this approach to the year of the Covid. […]
